The perfect luxury Savuti safari holiday
Famous as the stage upon which lion prides compete with hyena clans for food and territory
Savuti Concession is one of Botswana’s most captivating safari destinations, renowned for its raw, untamed wilderness and exceptional predator activity. Located within Chobe National Park in the northern part of the country, Savuti stands out for its unique landscape - a dramatic mix of dry, dusty plains, ancient woodlands, and seasonal waterways shaped by the mysterious Savuti Channel.
This ever-changing environment creates a dynamic habitat that supports an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, especially large predators like lions, leopards, and hyenas. Savuti is famed for its large lion prides and fierce battles for territory, offering some of the most thrilling and authentic predator viewing experiences in Africa. The area is also home to herds of elephants, buffalo, and plains game such as zebra and kudu, which in turn attract these apex predators.
What makes Savuti truly special is its sense of remoteness and adventure. The landscape’s rugged beauty, punctuated by baobab trees and dramatic sunsets, provides a striking backdrop to game drives that feel like stepping back into a wilder, more primal Africa. Walking safaris here reveal the intricate details of the ecosystem from spoor and tracks to the smaller creatures that thrive alongside the giants.
Savuti’s combination of intense wildlife encounters, extraordinary scenery, and a sense of solitude makes it a must-visit for safari enthusiasts seeking both excitement and a deep connection with nature. It’s a place where every day brings the possibility of witnessing Africa’s wild drama unfold in one of its most iconic settings.
